\u201cHot Launch Max is built for golfers who are working to improve their games and want equipment that supports that journey,\u201d said David Glod, Founder and CEO of Tour Edge. \u201cThese irons and wedges are designed to make solid contact easier, improve consistency, and build confidence in approach and scoring clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tour Edge has made some changes similar to those seen with last fall\u2019s Exotics releases. They have eliminated the E and X designations, opting instead for Max and Max D. The Max model will replace the E525, while the Max D is the replacement for the X525.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Hot Launch Max irons feature a more traditional look in an oversized, confidence-inspiring shape. A full-cavity design highlights the updated Tour Edge branding, while the VIBRCOR TPU insert reduces vibration and sound at impact while promoting fast ball speeds across the face.<\/p>\n
Designed for golfers seeking distance and forgiveness without sacrificing a classic appearance, the Max irons feature stronger lofts, with longer irons measuring up to 3\u00b0 stronger to maximize distance.<\/p>\n Hot Launch Max D Irons<\/p>\n With the Max D, Tour Edge relies on the Ironwood design, which has consistently proven to be a strong performer. Ironwood refers to Tour Edge\u2019s hybrid irons, emphasizing playability, forgiveness, and a higher launch. The Max D features weight distributed around the perimeter and a lower center of gravity, resulting in exceptional stability and fast ball speeds across the entire face.<\/p>\n Based on prior testing of Hot Launch Ironwoods, these irons make getting the ball airborne noticeably easier, especially for players who struggle with traditional long irons.<\/p>\n Both the Hot Launch Max and Max D irons are available for right- and left-handed golfers.<\/p>\n Hot Launch Max Wedges<\/p>\n Following the same playbook as the irons, the Hot Launch Max wedge is designed for golfers who prefer a more traditional appearance in their wedges. While it resembles a classic wedge, Tour Edge has incorporated advanced technology to make it more forgiving for Hot Launch golfers, while still delivering the feel, spin, and versatility typically expected from a \u201cblade\u201d wedge.<\/p>\n Notably, the inclusion of VIBRCOR enhances the satisfying and responsive feel at impact. The CNC-milled grooves comply with USGA limits, providing increased spin and control for those essential short-game shots. Tour Edge has also added extra weight to the high-toe area, which not only expands the sweet spot but also produces more spin on shots struck higher on the face.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hot Launch Max D Wedges<\/p>\n With the Max D Wedge, Tour Edge incorporates three key design features that differentiate it from the Max Wedge, making it the\u202fideal\u202fchoice for golfers who need extra forgiveness around the greens.\u202f<\/p>\n Full-face grooves, matching the Max D irons, to maintain spin on off-center strikes \u201cApproach play and short-game confidence are where golfers improve fastest,\u201d added Glod. \u201cConsistency is what allows golfers to score, and Hot Launch Max irons and wedges are built to deliver predictable results.\u201d<\/p>\n Wedge Loft Options<\/p>\n Hot Launch Max wedges: 50\u00b0, 52\u00b0, 54\u00b0, 56\u00b0, 58\u00b0, 60\u00b0 Shaft Options and Custom Fitting<\/p>\n Tour Edge has paired the Hot Launch irons and wedges with lightweight shaft options to fit a wide range of players.
